I'm really disappointed after hearing the news. Those were the only 2 shows left that had video game ties to the channel, and this marks the official death of G4. I'm really going to miss their E3 coverage along with Comic-Con. I looked forward to their coverage every year, and I'm going to miss true gamer fans like Morgan Web and Adam Sessler discussing games (I'm aware Sessler left the show earlier this year).

I know their are other better alternatives, but it won't be the same for me.

On an unrelated note, I don't know what this means for the Japanese version of Ninja Warrior.

I really had to rant somewhere.

I know. That kinda sucks. Not that I watched either religiously, but whenever I caught one, I was impressed. They better replace at least the video game one with something similar.

you do realize its geared toward online multiplayer right? No one should buy that game for the story mode

I think even MP games should have a qualilty single player. Did you ever play the original MoH? One of the best single campaigns ever. Honestly, to this day I remember parts of it. That's how big an impression the game had on me. I think that if they make these games specifically for MP, they shouldn't even bother with a crappy single player. Save time and money and a lot of pissed off customers. Yes/No?

AOTS has been completely un-watchable since Kevin left. Probably should have been canceled in June. I found myself always putting it on out of habit and never enjoying it.

I loved Screen Savers on G4/TechTV with Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton. It was like nerd-heaven. They would build PCs on the air, show overclocking and other tweaks, have livestreams of games, and so on. Really cool show. Then Comcrap bought the whole network and killed the show.

Also, has anyone purchased Mario Brothers 3 for the Virtual Console on the Wii? We did, and it seems like there are some serious graphical glitches. My ROM version for Nesoid looks and plays better...

Up to 48% of Lego Star Wars. While still my least favorite, it's not as bad as I originally thoughts. THe General Grevious boards are actually really good. The other 2 story lines sucked. Too many just big battles which get boring and redundant.

Dont get me wrong the single player on this one is pretty good when you are playing it as a FPS. But there are like three driving missions including a horrible "stealth driving" mission. there is also a driving a boat mission and even a couple on missions when you are just a gunner in a jeep or a helicopter. Plus I think the MOH games are geared more towards the single-player stuff and the Battlefield games are EA's big MP games.

So I finally finished Resident Evil 6, and the first thing I'm going to say is the Gamespot score of 4.5 was total garbage. The guy overreacted way too much.

I have difficulty trying to give a solid opinion of the game. There are aspects to the game that are refreshing to see again, and others aspects that are flat or incomplete.

The atmosphere to most of the game is the best it's been since Code Veronica. There are a lot of dark, claustrophobic set pieces. It was definitely much improved over Re5's brightly lit scenarios. Unfortunately, the small arsenal and partners take away from the sense of fear. If you play by yourself, your partner can't die. There's no point in helping him/her because he/she will get back up. They are also pretty capable of killing enemies, especially during scenes where there are more than one AI helping. There were times where I was occupied with something else, and just let the AI handle the enemies. Playing with a partner is cool and all, but I believe it is the biggest detriment to capturing the uneasiness of past REs. It makes things too easy and too comfortable.

Despite the excellent atmosphere there are many over the top action scenes. I don't mind all of them, but there are a ridiculous amount of chase scenes. There's a car chase, a helicopter chase, a jet ski chase, and a motorcycle chase. It's like the game is trying to be a racing game. That time would have been better spent fleshing out the character/story.

I was really excited about the multiple campaigns, but it became what I feared: they were merely 4 shorter campaigns instead of 4 extended campaigns. I read they were all going to be 3/4 the length of Re5. Instead all are about 5 hours in length. It's hard to grow attached to any character/campaigns when they last that long. Not to mention you play some of the exact same scenarios as other campaigns.

Out of the 4 campaigns, I think I liked Chris's the least. It was more like RE5 than the others, and it suffered from the short campaign length. It was the 1st one I played though, so the broader story didn't materialize yet.

I could go on much longer, but I'll cut things short here. The 7.5 - 8.0 score is more accurate than the 4.5 Gamspot gave. I really want to like this better than Re5, but RE 5 at least had a coherent, focuses story, and it still retained the upgrades system of RE4 (I hated the upgrade system of RE 6). However, I really liked the atmosphere and the idea of multiple, converging campaigns. Just wish they were more focused and longer.

I would say its between 5-6 hours. I got stuck on the one driving mission so that added to my gameplay time. As a overall single player game I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. If I based my review on the story with just the FPS missions I would give it a solid 8.0 out of 10. I really didint mess with the Multi-player too much since I am more of a Halo/COD fan and have never been a fan of EA's on-line play.

I would say its worth a two-night rental from the Redbox if they are even going to carry it. (Its a two-disc game on the 360, one disc for SP and one for MP)

I was thinking about trading it in since it is worth $42.00 at Best Buy right now but i just might end up keeping it.

Exactly.

To give an example of the short campaigns hindering the game. I was excited for Jake's section because there was a Nemesis like boss called Ustanak. Always loved those relentless bosses is RE. I felt Ustanak was the easiest boss in the game. Didn't have enough time to build him up, and anytime he appeared, it was signaled by a cutscene. Loved Nemesis because he would appear in the middle of gameplay when you least expected it.

The stupid snow mobile and motorcycle chase could have been switched for Ustanak encounters. Instead they just waste time.

ok, i thought the early levels of Mirror's Edge were hard when it was just jumping from building to building. now i'm on the later levels where it's jumping from building to building while people shoot at you with sniper rifles.

i still think this is a pretty good game, and should be more well known than it is.
